"They don’t have police records and they’re just here to come to work."We’re literally a nonprofit trying to serve healthy indigenous food to people. We shouldn’t have to worry if we’re going to have guns pulled on us on the way to work at all, but this is our reality."Sean Sherman at OwamniOwamniThe experience of Sherman's employee mirrors that of many people detained by ICE in recent weeks, with a growing number of examples of people being arrested by agents and quickly transferred to Texas, even in instances where they have paperwork showing they have a legal right to reside in the U.S.A lawsuit was filed this past week by The Advocates for Human Rights against the Department of Homeland Security, saying detainees being held at the Whipple Federal Building are being denied the right to speak to immigration attorneys before moving them out of the state.In his interview with Mother Jones, Sherman – who is also the owner of James Beard Award-winning Owamni – said the use of the Whipple as a detention center is "more salt in the wound" for Native Americans given it's located at Fort Snelling, which was used as a concentration camp for Dakota people in the 1860s.Related: Award-winning chef Sean Sherman slams ICE and its impact on Twin Cities
